LIGHT-HOLDER.

Application filed May 26. 1917, Serial No. 171,300.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ANDREW J. BARRETT, a citizen of the United States,residing at Britannia Beach, in the Province of British Columbia andDominion of Canada, have invented certainnew and useful Improvements inLight-Holders, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in light holdersand the principal object of the invention is to provide adjustable meansfor supporting electric flash lights, electric extension lights and thelike in any desired position.

Another object of the invention is to provide the supporting means witha hook ar rangeinent, with means for adjusting the position of the sameon the said means so the light may be moved in a circle, the axis ofwhich is in a plane parallel with the longitudinal plane of the hook.

A further object of the invention is to provide means for removablyholding the light at any desired point on the circle.

Another object of the invention is to provide a device of thischaracter, which is simple and durable in construction, reliable andefficient in operation and one which can be manufactured and placed uponthe market at a minimum cost.

The invention also consists in certain other features of constructionand in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, to behereinafter fullydescribed, illustrated in the accompanying drawings andspecifically pointed out in the appended claims.

In describing my invention in detail, reference will be had to theaccompanying drawings, wherein like characters denote like orcorresponding parts throughout the several views, and in which:

Figure 1 is a front View of the device.

Fig. 2 is a side view, partly in section.

Fig. 3 is a plan view.

In these figures 1 indicates a disk like member provided with the Wings2 and 3, each of these wings being provided with a slot 4 to receive thestrap 5, this strap being provided with a buckle or other fastenin meansso the same may be secured around the light, the wings 2 and 3 beingcurved to conform to the shape of said light. The outer face of the disklike member 1 is straight and is provided with a series of Specificationof Letters Patent. v Patented Aug io, 192() Renewed November 3, 1919.Serial No. 335,483.

depressions 6 located adjacent the periphery of the disk. A hook member7 consisting of a straight shank 8 and a pair of hooks 9, is secured tothe face of the disk 1 by means of the rivet 10, said rivet allowing thesaid member to have rotary movement on the disk, and said member isprovided with a pair of depressions 11, arranged on each side of therivet and adapted to engage with the depression 6 in the disk to preventfree movement of the member 7 on the disk.

The hooks 9 are formed by bending the shank 8 over at the top andsplitting said shank to provide a pair of hooks, the metal being cut toprovide the hooks with sharpened ends.

It will be seen that the disk 1 may be 7 moved on the shank, or theshank on the disk, by forcing the depressions 11 out of the depressions6 and moving the parts until the depressions on the shank engage withthe next pair of depressions on the disk, and so on until the desiredposition is reached. Thus the parts may be moved to, and held in anydesired position relative to each other.

The hooks may be engaged with any suitable form of support to hold thelight in proper position and either the hooks may be adjusted on thedisk before being engaged with the support or the disk may be adjustedon the shank after the hooks are placed in engagement.

It is thought from the foregoing that the advantages and novel featuresof my invention will be'readily apparent.

I desire it to be understood that I may make slight changes in theconstruction and in the combination and arrangement of the severalparts, provided that such changes fall within the scope of the appendedclaims.

I claim as my invention 1. A light holder, comprising an elongatedmember, a strap attached to opposite ends of the member and adapted toengage around the light, a suspending device pivoted centrally to thesaid member, and co operating depressions and projections between thesaid member and suspending device to hold them in a given relativeposition.

2. A light holder, comprising an elongated member, a strap attached toopposite ends of the member and adapted t6 engage around the light, saidmember having a ciratone end and its other end rotzitebly 10 mounted onsaid disk and frictional means for preventing such rotation.
